We’ve been visiting the Colorado Renaissance Festival for many, many years. In fact, my husband’s been visiting the realm since he was just a kid. It’s one of our favorite summer excursions. At the end of the day we’re hot, covered in dust and turkey leg grease, but we’re happy. Colorado Renaissance Festival is an outstanding production and I’ve pointed to this fest as an example that should be followed
Remember the song Home on the Range? Well, Kremmling, Colorado is where the deer and the antelope play. It’s a destination for those who truly want to get away. There are no malls here, no freeways – just miles of ranch land punctuated by the occasional table top mountain and views of the majestic Rockies. At 7,313 feet above sea level, the town is located in Grand County. Kremmling may
May has five weeks, so I had a lot to cover on my second show on KRFC 88.9 FM this month. This show has it all; music events, thought-provoking events, foodie events, wine events, motorcycle events and more. Believe me when I tell you that there’s ALWAYS something going on in Colorado. It’s busy here year round, but summers gets crazy. I can’t keep up, and I’ve stopped trying. I
I’m featuring TEDxFrontRange on HeidiTown again this year, and while it isn’t a festival, it fits the spirit of HeidiTown. If you are unfamiliar with TEDx, it’s an afternoon of enlightenment through short presentations by a variety of folks. TEDx originated from TED, founded in 1984, by Richard Saul Wurman. He saw a powerful convergence between Technology, Entertainment and Design happening in the world. The event brings together movers and
Into every life, a little rain must fall, but children shouldn’t have to bear the brunt of the storm and that’s where Realities for Children comes in. The Fort Collins based, Realities for Children is the May recipient of the HeidiTown Gives Back Campaign. The mission of RFC is to provide for the unmet needs of children who have been abused, neglected or are at-risk by uniting local businesses, youth
“Sisters of Swing” at Boulder’s Dinner Theater Most people are familiar with Andrew Sisters’ impersonators, but the actresses on stage at Boulder’s Dinner Theater become more than simple caricatures of the famous trio. The musical, “Sisters of Swing,” gives the audience a glimpse beyond the makeup and stockings and into the lives of three, real women, who lived, laughed, loved and endured heartbreak, just like the rest of us. The
This is the second post in my #TravelTuesday, Tip of the Day series. If you’re anything like us, you get so caught up in getting to your destination that sometimes you forget to enjoy the journey. Today when I travel, I often have an itinerary, and when you’re in my line of business, it’s usually pretty full, and there’s not much time for messing about. We jump in the car,
If you love food, and who doesn’t, you won’t want to miss the Taste of Loveland. For just $40 you’ll be able to spend hours tasting food from 30 different restaurants. Plus, you can taste beer and wine from over 40 vendors. Yes, it’s an evening of gluttony, but you’ll be indulging for a great cause, and that makes it okay. This year is the 9th Annual Taste and it
I’ve decided to throw out some occasional #TravelTuesday tips here on HeidiTownwhen the mood strikes me. After our weekend in Vail, the mood struck. After several years of extensive travel around Colorado I’ve come to realize that the best way to get to know a place, to really get to know a place, is to stay for three nights. So this is my #TravelTuesday tip for today: To really get
I’m back!!! Surgery went well and although recovery was rough – a week and a half of not being able to see well enough to do anything, not even read – I am back to the land of the seeing. Thank you for all the comments, tweets, Facebook posts, texts and emails of support. It truly meant a lot to know that so many people were pulling for me. Last
